IPad mini 4 causing auto land

[Merky1761]

I just got a mini 4 and when I attach it to the controller the mavic won't take off or it will auto land right away. What I found was the mini 4 was spreading the controller legs to far that it made the return to home button in the top left corner in-op. As soon as I remove the iPad the button works. Anyone have that problem?

Are you connecting the iPad to the input on the left side of the controller near the Return home button or using the USB port on the bottom of the remote control?

I am using the USB on the bottom.

Even with the iPad out if I pull on the legs of the controller to full open the button sticks and will not click.

I just bought one of these. I don't like how far the legs have to spread to fit the iPad mini. Read nothing but good things about the mavmoumt.

We have one and they are very nice, their Crystalsky monitor mounts are looking good also.

I read somewhere that the mini4 should be mounted so that the port is on your right. Something about the magnetic strip being farther away from the RC.

The port on the right makes the magnetic strip stay away from the RC and you can access the volume buttons on the iPad

That's how I have my larger IPad.
Also in a holder so further away.

I have a ipad 4 mini and he works very well mounted with the port on the left without mavmoumt. I have not problems or malfuncions with my Mavic Pro, he flight over 700 km without any problems or disconnection.

Yeah I use a Mini 4, never had this problem, sounds like there is an issue with your controller. I put the port on the left as that way the volume buttons are on the bottom and more accessible. This is the first I am hearing port on right is better, I have never had any issues with the controller flying this way. What could be effected in the controller by magnets? If magnets were near the MP that would be a different story, but I doubt it would cause any issues with the controller.

The joy sticks are controlled with magnets.

I have read more than a few times at a few forums or groups of people having problems when iPad plug on left. Here is some more info:
